This is just a very enjoyable exhibition, the debut solo exhibition by Jorunn Mæland. It is a tribute to family, tradition, rural life and the nature. It is a thrill to see cement welded to look so fragile and soft, and tasty canned fruits are turned into art. And she has made beautiful sculptures of wool yarn and a bread  cutting board. The opening was crowded, and contained a speech by her primary school teacher and girls from primary school singing traditional songs.
